    Lab Report Question- Why do few objects float in water where as others sink? Hypothesis- I think the objects that have a greater density than water will sink. So whichever object has a density more than 1g/cm³ will sink in water. This is known as relative density where the density of the substance is compared to the density of water. Hence‚ the object that has a greater mass: volume ratio than water will sink. Materials- * 1 measuring cylinder * 1 rectangular prism * 1 ball of plasticine

    Problem How do ships float even though they are so heavy? Research • What is buoyancy? – Buoyancy is the upward force caused by a fluid such as water. • What is Archimedes Principle? – The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. • What is density? – Density is the mass of a material per unit volume. – Example: The density of steel is 10 times more than the density of wood. Hypothesis I think when the weight of the object is greater than the displaced water

    Why do boats float? All boats float‚ but floating is harder and confusing than it sounds and its best explained through a scientific concept called buoyancy. Buoyancy is the force that causes floating. An object will either float or sink depending on its density in the water. If it’s denser than water‚ it mostly sinks; the less dense object usually will float. It doesn’t matter the size of the object is. Plastic that is big as a football field will float because it is less dense that the water. A

    Will the egg float or sink if put in salt water? Purpose: I want to know why the egg floats in fresh water and not salt water. I want to know if the egg will float in salt water‚ Also this shows why materials float easier in saltwater and sink in freshwater. Research: Since the egg’s density is higher than the density of freshwater the egg will sink. Density is mass per unit volume‚ which means a measure of how much mater is in a certain volume. If you add enough salt the egg will float again. The

    Do you ever wonder why a boat floats and a rock doesn’t? Well I do. A Boat floats because of buoyancy and it remains lighter than the amount of water it displaces. Buoyancy is an interesting topic. Buoyancy can happen in any fluid and air. The buoyant force applies not just to water but to any fluid...A fluid is a substance that is able to take the shape of a container in which it is placed.” The source of this information is http://blackbirdlibrary.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/70171466/dFlaoting

    The song ”Float On” by Modest Mouse has changed how I feel about my surroundings. It made me realize that I am just one small part in a bigger world.

This line uses the listener’s previous knowledge of how cops react to accidents to show how sometimes people can surprise you. When people do the unexpected they can change your life for the better. It’s actually my favorite
